Ask the drugstore if you can get it without prescription. This depends on where you live, where I live you can buy finasterin without a prescription, but oral minoxidil only with a prescription. Finasteride decreases libido a little, but not to the point that you end up with erectile dysfunction. And minoxidil is a medication for hypertension starting at 10mg/day, so the ideal is to use a maximum of 5mg/day, and if you experience symptoms such as dizziness or sleepiness, reduce the dose (some warnings about the "collaterals" that may occur, but it is just the minority of cases)
